Abstract: 19,661. Paul, I., and BollÚ, C. Sept. 30. Motor road vehicles.-To provide for tightening a belt in driving-gear running over two pulleys, one of the pulleys is mounted on a spindle carried in movable bearings and connected to a shaft, mounted in fixed bearings, by universal joints and a telescopic connecting - piece. The movable bearings may be mounted on a pivoted arm, or on slides adjustable by screw-and-nut mechanism. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement in which the movable spindle m has secured to it two pulleys l<2>, l<3>, of different diameter, and carries a loose cone l<4>, placed between the pulleys, and, if desired, a loose pulley l<5>. This spindle is driven by a belt from a roller on the motor shaft l, and is coupled by means of two universal joints and a telescopic shaft to a spindle p in gear with the shaft to be driven. The spindle is moved towards and away from the driving-shaft, as required to maintain the desired tension on the belt, by a hand-lever n<3> on a rock-shaft n<1>, which also carries a lever n coupled by a link m<4> to the yoke m<3> which connects its bearings. The belt shifter o' may be simultaneously operated from this rock-shaft by means of a lever n<5>, racks o, o<3>, and pinions o<1>, o<2>. In the same way, where an expanding pulley is used, the device for varying the diameter of the pulley may be coupled to that for shifting its spindle, so as to act together. In another arrangement, the movable bearings carry two spindles, one fitting into the other ; each spindle carries a pulley, the two pulleys being separated by a loose pulley, and is connected by universal joints &c. to a corresponding fixed spindle, which again is connected to the driven shaft by spur-wheels and clutches. In the construction shown in Fig. 7, two sets of belt gears are employed, and their tension devices are connected so as to work inversely. The belts, when not under tension, may be supported on rollers x carried by pivoted arms x<1>, which are moved upwards by links x<3> pivoted on the moving bearings. Provision may be made for reversing.
